Stolen content

[Cosmoseth]

Hello, my name is Seth Wooten, aka Cosmoseth.

I am the maker of many popular flash stick games, Including "Rage", "stickicide", and "one Man's Doomsday".

"One Man's Doomsday" was recently stolen from me. Some little bastard found my doomsday game, decompiled it, and changed some animation, calling it "His Own".

the bullshit game is called "Stick-west".

notice any similarities?

Most of my animation was completely stolen, and ALL of my coding was.

please, for the love of god contact freeonline games and tell them what they/the "maker" of it has done.

the bastard! i love yourgames...so crisp and smooth...its impossible to pass your work off as someone elses. you really should get him sued.

[Tancuras]

I'm not too sure what to think...looks like it's yours, but you might be lying. I believe you, but I'm staying a bit skeptical about it. I'm not going to report anything, yet.

[Snubby]

you should put some picks side by side of the characters, at the same movement frames. I did that when leetsauce coppied one of my explosions and it totally busted him.

[Cahenn]

I'm a big fan of your games :) All fun. You should talk to Inglor about making money off your content, that way you make money OFF people who leech your stuff. his email is [e-mail] or something

[Disarray-yarrasiD]

your right it is the same game.

yours is much, much better though.

I caninmaging that the little shit might have posted it under his name, but to decompile it and remake it without permission...

[omfgItsZoidy]

decompile his game and change a little detail then submit it, then if he has anything to say about it show them how it was obviusly stolen in the first place

[Zwe]

They didn't even bother to make their own directions

[Bwave]

A little offtopic, but you really need a better place to host the games (Like newgrounds.)

Every 2 minutes, a popup interrupts the game, and is very annoying.

And I think that was blatent theivery. If you ever find that guy, gut him.

[Cosmoseth]

dont tell me you havent seen "rage" on NG front page ;)

[Ashed-Dreams]

Did you do this when you export? and, also put an animated mc in an animated mc in an animated mc. That way, things will seems poop-ish when ppl try to de-compile it.

[Cosmoseth]

it doesnt make a difference when being de-compiled.

[Disarray-yarrasiD]

there are some really good decompilers...

doesnt stop decompilers

But seriously, it looks like the copycat got the game sponsored... I think i smell a lawsuit or at least an angry email

[IZSBHR]

Alright, that sucks.

When I decompile flashes I learn the codes. I don't change the animation and put them on the internet. Anybody I show them to, I tell them where the code came from, and I improve the code in any way I can. Even after that, I won't show them on a big site like that without the original author's permission, and then I give them 75% of the credit for the original code. What that guy did is just.. wrong. He should at least change the code!!!!!

[onlyproductions]

i wish i could do some thing about it

rage was made by the same guy that made the other games like it.

[Ashed-Dreams]

you should e-mail Tom or at least any mod around and have them block his IP, keep him away from NG. you should e-mail other flash site and have his ip blocked too.

Or you can make a chain mail and spoil his reputation online.

Make him suffer!!!! hahahah.... i'm wicked sick.

[Stone-Steven]

yes this was stolen, i can completely vouche for cosmo. We made the game "Dry_fire" together as you also may have seen on the front page.

Now cosmo even sent me half made versions of the Dooms Day 2 game... I have proof and i would back him up fully if question if he did infact make this game WHICH HE DID.

You can even tell there shitty introduction was done in line stick and it was all rigid and choppy... i dont think cosmo has ever even touched the line tool.

Bullshit like this just puts me over the edge

[Cosmoseth]

yes.

As long as there are assholes like this guy..

[L33ts4u]

I thought some one would have suggested this before I could, so I didn't bother(I don't think anyone said this, but I only skimmed so sry if you did);
http://www.freeonlin..mes.com/contact.html

contact freeonlinegames, show them proof that you made the game first ( I'm assuming you have some) and then ask them to remove the game. DON'T say it's their fault, they can't exactly tell who made what with every submission. Good luck

[pillowbasher]

First off, id like 2 say, i love your games
second off, Are you related in anyway to Victor Wooten????

[Masso]

I don't know who in the right mind would steal. No right minded artist would. But that... That person is no artist.

[pillowbasher]

Oh, i have contacted them, and asked for them to remove "Stick-West" or pay you royalties

[DFox]

I know the owner of Free Online Games. He's VERY nice.

I'm sure if you just email him and explain this to him he will take it down.

But that really sucks. If someone did that to my flash I would go crazy.

[brainface]

Its amazing how much work people put into stolen games to make it look like there own.

Sucks dude.

Yeah, the time it took them to acctually decompile it all then change all the stuff, they could probably have made a whole extra game with that amount of effort.

I'm not going to contact them, it's not my affair. I'm sorry this happens, but there's not much point in me emailing them or getting involved.

Good luck.

i was the first one to vote on that! and probly 4th to beat it.

[Obsidion]

We should put people like this into prison for the rest of their life. We should go to court and put him in prison. Sorry Im just pissed off at that *****.
